US and UK plan a maritime coalition meeting next week following a four-day pause in Iranian attacks, aiming to stabilize the critical Strait of Hormuz amid high energy volatility.
News detail
Over the last four days, there have been no Iranian attacks against commercial ships. Some US defense officials say the reason is that Iran's military capability around the strait has been all but eliminated due to the US strikes. Other officials say Iran is still capable of attacking ships in the area. The sources said the US wants its allies to send assets to the region like de-mining vessels, naval vessels and drones to help secure shipping lanes.
